patient can easily access it from at least one side.
• The couch was designed for patients weighing up to 135 kg.
• Changing the position of the couch should not be performed during the therapy.
• Moving the couch with the patient lying on it is prohibited.
• Only one solenoid applicator may be placed on the couch.
• The position of the CP type applicator mounted on a stand or solenoid one mounted on the couch
can only be changed by the personnel operating the unit.
• It is necessary to be careful during carrying the solenoid applicators due to their weight.
• CPEP applicators are not identical to CPE applicators in previous magnetotherapy devices (PhysioGo,
Etius). They cannot be used interchangeably.
• After switching the unit off, wait for 10 seconds before you switch it on again.
• Each serious incident concerned with the device should be reported to the manufacturer
and competent authority of the country, where the user or patient resides. Serious incident means
any incident that directly or indirectly lead, might have led or might lead to any of the following:
the death of a patient, user or other person,
the temporary or permanent serious deterioration of a patient's, user's or other person's state of
health,
a serious public health threat.
Electromagnetic compatibility:
• It is recommended to use original accessories, spare parts and equipment of the manufacturer. Use of
accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified or provided by the manufacturer of
this equipment could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic
immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation.
• Use of the PhysioMG adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it could
result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, the unit and the other equipment should be
observed to verify that they are operating normally.
• Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external
antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the PhysioMG, including cables
specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment
could result.
Therapeutic:
• The device is intended for adult patients only. Minor patients – only on the doctor's
explicit recommendation, after considering contraindications
• Treatments for patients:
having implanted electronic devices (e.g. a pacemaker),
metal implants,
with lesions in the initial EEG test,
who have experienced epileptic seizures,
who have undergone neurosurgical operations
should be consulted with the attending physician. In such cases, an individual approach and precise
monitoring of the course of therapy in these individuals is recommended. The attending
physician should assess whether the benefits of using magnetotherapy outweigh the risks resulting
from the above-mentioned factors.
• Before performing the treatment, make sure there are no contraindications to its implementation.
• If the therapy is carried out on ulcerations, decubitus ulcers, burns in the phase with effusion or
post-traumatic wounds in the inflammatory phase, the treated area should be protected with a
sterile dressing, e.g. gauze.
• Act with caution in severe vascular diseases (obliterative arteritis of the lower limbs, diabetic
angiopathy, severe angina pectoris).
• Treatment parameters and the arrangement of the applicators should be consistent with the medical
indications.
• Sitting or reclining position should be applied to the patients with respiratory disorders or
breathing difficulties.
• In case of treatment, when the patient is lying on the couch, his/her head should be directed towards
the headrest or should be resting on it, legs should be directed towards the shelf of the unit.
• The operator should supervise the moment when the patient lies down on the couch and gets up from
it, so that he does not hit or catch on the shelf for the unit and the unit itself.
• It is not recommended to treat pregnant women with magnetotherapy.
• Do not perform treatments on patients under the influence of alcohol.
• Do not perform treatments on patients under the influence of intoxicants.
• Due to the possibility of occurrence of sleep disorders, avoid, if possible, magnetotherapy
treatments carried out in the evening. This applies mainly to the elderly people.
• It is necessary to inform the patient about the sensation of heat – applicators may become hot during
operation (see section 4.4).
• During therapy by means of low-frequency magnetic field the patient should not undergo X-
ray examinations and ionizing radiation.
For CP and CPEP plate applicators, for which the patient's body is in contact during the treatments,
the requirements related to acceptable temperatures are met, as for the applied parts. At the point of contact,
the temperature of 41°C is not exceeded.
The solenoid applicators heat up to higher temperatures than the plate applicators due to their design,
principle of operation and expected induction values. Maximum temperatures of solenoid applicators:
• external surface – made of metal – 54°C,
• internal surface – molded material – 62°C.
Limit values according to the standard given in the first paragraph, according to table 23, second row - contact
time 1 – 10 s:
• metals and liquids – the external surface of the applicator – 56°C,
• molded materials, plastic – Internal side of the applicator housing – 71°C.
In case of the solenoid applicators, contact between the housing and the patient's body is rare and the
contact is usually accidental. Temperatures on the surface of the solenoid applicators do not pose threat to
the patient or the operator. The surface temperature of the couch and the pillow in the CS35 applicator do
not exceed 41°C.
The expected benefits of using magnetotherapy outweigh the risks associated with the surface temperatures of
the solenoid applicators.
A label informing about temperatures is placed on the housings of the solenoid applicators.
Figure 4.1. A label informing about the temperatures of the solenoid applicators
Due to the intended use, the unit can be used in hospitals, clinics, outpatient clinics, doctors' and rehabilitation
offices and other health care institutions, under the supervision of qualified personnel.
Simultaneous operation of the unit with devices generating strong electromagnetic field, such as short wave
and microwave diathermies, high frequency surgical equipment, MRI systems, may disturb the unit operation.
For this reason, it is recommended to maintain appropriate distance between these devices or to switch off the
generator of strong fields during therapy with the PhysioMG unit.
The PhysioMG meets requirements of electromagnetic interference emission and immunity standards and
shall not pose a threat to correct operation of the other devices. Compliance levels for emissions and
immunity are given in the chapter 11.2.
Magnetic field applicators are marked with non-ionizing radiation symbol, because they emit electromagnetic
field energy for healing purposes.

7. Unit operation
The unit may operate in one of two modes:
• program mode,
• manual mode.
In the program mode you can use preset procedures of treatment programs, user-defined programs and
sequences. In the program mode you cannot edit the introduced parameters. Such an option is available in
the manual operation mode.
To perform safe and effective treatment procedure you are obliged to:
• make sure if there are no contraindications to perform the treatment,
• the patient should be placed in a comfortable position while providing relaxation of tissues in the
treatment area, the patient should be in lying position in case of treatment performed near the head,
• sitting or reclining position should be applied to patients with respiratory disorders or breathing
difficulties,
• inform the patient about feelings that may occur during treatment.
The treatment effectiveness depends on the choice of parameters to the current patient’s condition. The
patient’s condition changes over time. Its observation and assessment should take place before, during and
after therapy. Such an action is necessary for changing the parameters in order to adapt them to the actual
condition of the patient.
It is recommended to keep records of treatments including the parameters of therapy, the area of treatment,
treatment technique, dose and symptoms after therapy. If the treatment does not generate the intended
effects, change of treatment parameters should be taken into consideration. It is necessary to continuously
update knowledge and follow literary activities in the scope of therapy.
When performing therapy, it is recommended to follow the guidelines given in the following sections.
7.1.2 Magnetotherapy
• Prior to treatment it is necessary to check the presence of magnetic field by means of magnet (hand
with magnet inserted within the applicator).
• Other types of therapy carried out at the same time do not constitute a counter-indication to use the
therapy of low-frequency magnetic field.
• Treatments may be carried out through clothes, plaster, bandages.
• It is necessary to inform the patient that during treatment they will not sense anything.
• It is necessary to control the feeling of the patient, especially during treatments in the area of the head.
• It is necessary to properly fix the magnetic field applicator to the body of the patient, e.g. by means of
Velcro belts or flexible bands.
• In order to avoid possible exacerbation of conditions the treatments must be started with a small dose,
i.e. first treatment around 40%, second 70%, third 100% of the prescribed dose.
• First 5-15 treatments should be carried out on a daily basis, whereas subsequent treatments 2-3
times per week.

PhysioMG has two modes of magnetic field generation: continuous and intermittent.
In continuous mode, the magnetic field is generated with a constant amplitude throughout the duration of the
treatment. This mode is selected by setting the cont value in the “Pause time in the intermittent mode”
parameter.
In the intermittent mode, the magnetic field is generated for 1 s (T imp ), followed by a pause (T pause ).The length
of the gap can be set within the range from 0.5 s to 8 s. Figure 8.3 and Figure 8.4 show the principle of
operation in the intermittent mode.
8.2.2 Spectrum
The spectrum determines the frequency modulation range as a function of time. The frequency is modified
symmetrically with respect to the basic frequency (Figure 8.5).
Warning: The frequency deviation period is fixed at 10 seconds and it is permanent (5 seconds increase and 5
seconds decrease in frequency). The course of changes is linear, and the frequency change pace is 10 ms
(100x within a second).

• presence of electronic implants (e.g. cardiac pacemaker)
If the therapy is carried out on ulcerations, decubitus ulcers, burns in the phase with effusion or post-
traumatic wounds in the inflammatory phase, the treated area should be protected with a sterile dressing,
e.g. gauze.
NOTE: Before attempting to perform following operations isolate the unit from the mains supply!
The activities of maintenance, cleaning and disinfection of device components should be realized at:
• ambient temperature between +15°C to +30°C,
• relative humidity between 30% to 75%,
• atmospheric pressure between 700 hPa and 1060 hPa (70 – 106 kPa).
These conditions are identical to those defined in chapter 4.2 as operation conditions.
There are no limitations for the number of cleaning and disinfection cycles, procedures should be carried out
during the entire device “life time”.
It is recommended to clean regularly the touch screen display using a microfiber cloth, preferably designated
for cleaning mirrors or electronic equipment. Gently moisten the cloth with clean water. The cloth should be
drained so that there is no dripping water. The screen should be wiped until removal of all dirt and dust.
The manufacturer does not recommend to use any product designated for cleaning screens, because there
is no guarantee that the chemicals will not lead to faster wear out of touch screen layers.
Cleaning of the unit shall be performed with lightly humid sponge or soft cloth with delicate soap solution or
mild detergent. The sponge/cloth should be drained so that there is no dripping water.
Do not use solvents for paints and lacquers. Do not use excessively dampened sponges either, which can
lead to water penetration inside the unit.
Cleaning of the applicators casings shall be performed with lightly humid sponge or soft cloth with delicate
soap solution or mild detergent. Then cleaned applicators shall be wiped with dry cloth and left for complete
drying.
10.3 Disinfection
NOTE: Before attempting to perform following operations isolate the unit from the mains supply!
Casing of the unit shall not be sterilized or disinfected. Disinfection of accessories, which are not intended for
contact with patient’s body (for example cables), shall be carried out with liquid or spray agents dedicated to
that purpose at least once a week.
Perform disinfection of magnetic field applicators after each treatment procedure, where there is contact with
the patient's body. It is recommended to use sanitizers based on ethanol and/or isopropyl alcohol e.g.
Alpro
User Manual – PhysioMG Page 48 / 58
10. Maintenance, cleaning, disinfection
Minuten Spray or 70% solution of spirit. After disinfection, accessories must be cleaned to avoid allergic
reaction.
It is not recommended to use sanitizers consisting of active oxygen, because it can lead to accessories damage.
Errors
General information
Warnings
If any mistakes of the hardware nature are detected, the unit will not start. An acoustic signal reminiscent of
"tapping" will be emitted. The number of signals ("taps") generated is adequate to the number of the error (see
Table 5 of error codes). For example, if seven signals are emitted (followed by a short break), this means that
the keyboard is damaged or one of the keys is locked.
In this situation, you must disconnect the unit from the network and contact an authorized service center
for a service and a possible repair.
10.6 Troubleshooting
In case of burnt fuses, they must be replaced. Their parameters are given in chapter ”Specification and

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such base stations for radio (cellular / cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur
radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic
environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the
location in which the PhysioMG unit is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the unit should be observed to verify
normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the
PhysioMG unit.
